Ecology

Habitat

It occurs primarily in well drained sands and loamy sands of pine-oak sandhill communities, sand dunes and interdune hollows (Entisols), and pine flatwoods communities (Spodosols). It requires high light. It thrives in frequently burned areas (FSU herbarium).

Conservation and Management

Requires fire or other vegetation-removing disturbance to maintain high light levels and reduced competition. Does not appear to be common in areas with a great deal of soil disturbance, although it occurs along roadsides and ditches (FSU herbarium).
